Question
What is the ruling on playing the Qur`an during office hours?
Answer
God the Almighty says, “When the Qur`an is read, listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy” [Al-A'raf: 204].
Abdul-Jabar ibn Ahmed said in Fawa`id Al-Qur`an that the disbelievers used to deliberately make a tumult to distract the Muslims when they listened to the Qur`an being read."
There is no legal objection to playing the Qur`an during working hours if:
- The [employees] are not deliberately inattentive to it.
- They do not distract those who are listening to it.
The answer to the question is known from the above and God the Almighty knows best.
